		  A mechanical failure in that single switch could take out both alternators. is that acceptable?

 

 Needing to turn both off would imply that both have failed 'shorted' and are trying to drain the battery. Not likely, but separate switches fix that, too. 	


   Turning an alternator OFF only deprives it

   of field excitation. A 'shorted' alternator

   draining a battery has problems in the rectifier

   assembly . . . your b-lead fault protection

   is ten tasked with isolating the alterntor

   from the battery.
